Join the HFO crew as we watch Riker partake in the Officer Exchange Program and serve on a Klingon ship.  Back on the Enterprise, a new Benzite ensign has problems adjusting to life on the Flagship.  Fire up your CBSAllAccess (or Paramount+, whatever it's being called now) and laugh along with us! 

If you could snap your fingers like Q and make any fictional technology from the Star Trek universe a real thing, what would you choose?  In this episode, our hosts sit down and compare their lists of 5 top Trek Tech wishes! 

In this episode we talk a lot about Ben's favorite Starfleet medical officer (NOT!), Kate Pulaski!  The Enterprise encounters a ship of 30 year olds who died of old age and are sent on an investigation that may end the good Doctor's life!   

Watch this episode along with Mike, Erin & Ben for fun and insightful comentary. :) 

Once again, Data takes a step forward in his quest to become more human.  First he tries out some now facial hair (who hasn't during this quarentine, am I right?) and then he unwillingly takes on the entire human personality of a dead guy!!  Ira Graves has found a way to become inmortal- but it comes at too high a cost.  In this episode our hosts do a watch-a-long with this TNG epsidode, so fire up your CBS All Access or Netflix and watch some Star Trek with us! 

With the news of the 2 upcoming animated Star Trek shows, we take a moment to look back at the Animated Series from the 70's and discuss the possabilities for the future. 

Grab your DVD, CBS All Access or Netflix log in and watch along as we discuss the season 2 episode "Loud As A Whisper".  Mike, Ben & Erin will act as your chorus- unless we get vaporized early in the episode (sorry- spoilers!).  

Schedule update: New episodes now coming twice a month!  

We now have a Patreon with specail perks! 

We try something a little different and watch an episode of Star Trek TNG while recording a "watchalong" comentary track.  So settle in with your Netflix/DVD/Bluray copy of Star Trek The Next Generation, Season 2, Episode 4: The Outrageous Okana and join the conversation by tweeting us @hailingfreqopen. 

What do you get when you cross Riker and Han Solo with The Rocketeer?  Okana!!  This episode even has a Bond girl!  What's not to love? 

Are you stuck spending a lot of time at home now because of social distancing, working from home, unemployment, etc?  Sad that it's Summer and all your favorite shows are on hiatus?  Why not watch Star Trek!  Now is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite Sci Fi franchise and our hosts dive into why they think that is. :) Enjoy! 

Everybody loves a little roleplay, right?  Data and Geordi do!  But they should have picked a safeword because things get out of hand in "Elementary, Dear Data"!
